The Peace of God is Your Proof

Today we pray and declare PEACE over other people!

PEACE! We hear that word a lot in the Bible and Christian teachings. So when I approached writing this study on peace, I asked God to give me something different to share that may give us a new perspective. He did! I praise God for giving us the words through me, a mere messenger. I take no credit for the teachings I share, God is the author. I just take notes, and love every minute of it.

Today our prayer and declaration will be words of God that are living and powerful. These commanding words of God will bless others with peace! We focus our attention on the second half of Numbers 6:26.

Numbers 6:26 AMP

The Lord lift up His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval],

And give you peace [a tranquil heart and life].

Our words will be:

The Lord give you peace [a tranquil heart and life.]

Let's first take a deeper examination of the peace of God. You are going to see something new today!

When I feel the peace of God at times that would not naturally be peaceful (those times of stress, anxiety, hurt or any number of unpleasant emotions), I like to say "Wow! Jesus really is in me, in this body!" I say this because there is no other explanation for these feelings of calmness and tranquility.

I consider it a privileged event of proof that Jesus indeed lives in me!

In John 14:20, Jesus says that we are in him and he is in us.

John 14:19-20

Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

This peace that we experience is proof that your God exists, loves you and cares for you through Jesus Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Do you want proof that God is real or that Jesus lives inside of you?

It is not so complicated to verify. When you feel your mind at ease and a sense of tranquility - this my friends is your confirmation that Jesus is in you! Of course the proof abounds when the sensation of peace arrives during trouble and heartache. For me I literally begin an audible celebration when the evidence of Jesus abiding in me appears in a calmness during a life storm. But we may just be missing out on additional praise time and joy, when we let our happy moments of easy times neglect to recognize this is also the peace of God given to us.

So my great desire for you and me today is:

Recognize your moments of peace. Recognize them by searching for them. In all times, good and bad, when you experience:

a calmness,

ease of mind,

serenity,

restfulness,

stillness,

STOP for a moment (at the minimum)

and open your spiritual eyes dear sister to identify the peace of God has just covered you!

Determine for yourself that this is without a doubt the peace that God and Jesus spoke of so many times. Observe these feelings. Look at them. This is your proof that God loves you and Jesus resides in you. You now have undeniable evidence.

Today as we confess the words of peace in Numbers 6:26 over other creations of God - keep in mind just how this tranquility feels and what it proves. Not only do I want you to benefit from this knowledge personally, but I also want you to see what you are blessing other people with in your declaration of peace over them. Not only will they receive peace, but also the proof that Jesus is in them and for them! This makes these words of blessings so much more paramount. Look at the impact you can make with the words of God ladies!

PRAYER & DECLARATION:

Oh Heavenly God and Creator,

I praise your name and the Word of God! You alone are my God and help! Today let the words of my mouth be acceptable to you.

Today I declare these mighty words of God in the name of Jesus:

(insert name in blank)

The Lord give _____ peace [a tranquil heart and life.]

May this peace be of great evidence of Jesus to the receiver of this blessing. Let it not be denied to be anything except Jesus residing in them. Open this dear one's eyes to your spiritual world Father that they may know you better.

I pray this in the name of Jesus, my Savior.

Amen.

MEDITATION:

Recognize your moments of peace.
